In contrast, Solana’s ETF attracted $197 million in new investments as some investors looked for alternatives to Bitcoin and Ethereum, according to a
Coinbase reported mixed results during the market turbulence. The exchange surpassed Q3 2025 revenue forecasts at $1.9 billion, but outflows from Bitcoin ETFs weighed on institutional interest, according to a
Experts caution that if Bitcoin drops below $106,000, it could trigger an additional $6 billion in liquidations, further accelerating the decline, Coinpedia warned. With ongoing uncertainty around Fed policy and continued ETF outflows, the market remains susceptible to further downturns.
